It has been a WHILE since I have updated here. This is mostly because life has been relatively boring 😉 In my last post (from JULY!!) I had just finished the 28 rounds of regular radiation and had my 3rd of 14 infusions of microscopic cancer killing juice- aka Kadcyla. After that post- I finished […]
Quick Update
I realized it’s been a while since I’ve updated on here- most of my updates have been on facebook and I realize not everyone is on there. Let’s see- today I finished up 28 rounds of radiation! However I am not totally done with radiation yet- I now have 5 “boosts” which is radiation that […]
And I’m Off on New Adventures…
I started writing this post several days ago but when I started reading it back to myself today- I decided to erase the whole thing. It just didn’t sound like me. It’s crazy how much more “myself” I feel like today than I did just a few days ago. Anyway….. So I wanted to give […]
An Update in Isolation
It’s been a while since I’ve updated. I hope this post finds you all hanging in there as at this point most of us have been isolating for what- 7 or 8 weeks? Things are generally good over here. A week and a half ago I had my single mastectomy- which went as good as […]
MRI and Surgery and Infusions, Oh My
How are you all doing out there in isolation? We are OK here. I admit that I would LOVE a vanilla latte from Peet’s and a solo trip to wander Target aimlessly…but we all know that won’t be happening for a while. I thought I’d give an update on the cancer front. As many of […]
What is Chemo Recovery Like? Let Me Share…

I’M DONE!!!!!
I am DONE with chemo. Done. Writing that out doesn’t seem real to me. It doesn’t feel like I am already done with this phase but…I am. It went by much faster than I anticipated and I am D O N E!!! Six rounds in the books! I’ve been asked quite a bit how I […]
Round Five DONE…
…and it was a doozy! I’m writing this on day 6 post FIFTH round of chemo and I made it through again! I will say- this round was not as easy as some others (but not as bad as round one or three!) This time, my chemo date was my friend Lisa. Lisa and I […]
Cancer: A Three Year Old’s Perspective
Last week, we all watched a new family movie together called Wonder Park. It’s about a girl named June and how she and her mom created an amazing mini theme park called Wonderland that’s run by a group of animals. The mother tells June that she is sick but that there are doctors that can […]
E’s Story: The Diagnosis {Part 2}
At the end of Part One we we had just gotten to our appointment at Stanford’s Pediatric Rheumatology Department…. And HEY! I was nearly 39 weeks pregnant with Everett at this point? Again- fun times! ANYWAY. At this appointment, E was seen by both an attending physician and a clinical fellow. The fellow did a […]
